Can Fengyoujing cure onychomycosis?

Fengyoujing is a relatively common external medicine with many health-care and therapeutic functions. For example, it can refresh the mind and relieve fatigue. Fengyoujing has certain anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, and can also achieve certain therapeutic effects on fungal infections. For people with onychomycosis, Fengyoujing can also be used for treatment. Of course, this treatment can only be an auxiliary treatment, and regular drug treatment is still needed.

Can Fengyoujing cure onychomycosis?

It cannot be a complete cure; it can be tried for those with mild symptoms. Onychomycosis is a lesion caused by fungi invading the nail plate or subungual tissue of the fingernails or toenails. The current treatment is mainly antifungal treatment. Although Fengyoujing has a certain antibacterial effect, it cannot treat severe onychomycosis. It will have a certain therapeutic effect on early onychomycosis, but it also varies from person to person.
